In today's REI Hot Seat spotlight, I'm breaking down the playbook for Canadians eyeing the U.S. real estate scene, with a laser focus on Cape Coral, Florida. Leveraging Zillow and other digital tools, I've mapped out how to uncover and analyze prime investment spots. Cape Coral's overflowing inventory? That's our gold mine, packed with deals waiting to be clinched by those ready to act.

Financing might seem like a hurdle, but it's nothing a few clever strategies can't handle. We're talking about properties that have lingered on the market, smart pricing analysis, and making "subject to" mortgage deals work in our favor. It's about being savvy with public records, skip tracing to reach owners directly, and customizing offers to fit the seller's needs.

So, if you're set on marking your territory in the U.S. market, let's dive into the tactics that turn challenges into opportunities, all from a Canadian lens.
